[Verse]
G C G
Born in this country, red white and blue
G D
From church pews to bar stools, it's always been true
G C G
From up in the mountains, way back in the pines
G D G
From Crazy to Sweet Dreams to Yesterday's Wine
G# C# G#
All of my heroes from Lefty to Jones
G# D#
Some are still with us and some have gone home
G# C# G#
Oh precious are the memories of the music they made
C# G# D# G
Forever living, not held by the grave
[Chorus]
D# C# G#
Forever and Always, Chiseled in Stone
C# G# D#
Like honky tonk prophets their words linger on
G# C#
If you don't believe me, if you need some proof
C# G# D# G#
Ask any old jukebox, hey, ain't it the truth
[Verse]
A D A
Honest and simple, never ashamed
A E
Lord help us Jesus never to change
A D A
One day I'll see Lefty when my work is through
A E A
He'll say son you were country, oh, ain't it the truth
[Chorus/Outro]
E D A
Forever and Always, Chiseled in Stone
D A E
Like honky tonk prophets their words linger on
A D
If you don't believe me, if you need some proof
D A E F#m D
Ask any old jukebox, hey, ain't it the truth
D A E A
Ask any old jukebox, hey, ain't it the truth
